Its talks about best cheap mobile tech to use
Molly Wood
Yes because it has the company name on the bottom and the user license

agreement.
e) It was to inform people that there are cheaper phones out there that are
as good as the iphone or galaxy.
5) I thought that finding a scholarly article in the CCBC library was easier
because all I had to do was type in the type in the topic and it showed me a
lot of options to choose form. The articles in the library had different times
the article was made. It was very easy to cite the article
because the link was there for you.

The internet articles were very hard to find because there were a lot of links
that were off topic and some that not appropriate enough. Finding a article
that was up to data was easy because all I did was try in current article.
Citing it was hard because some articles didnt have a author or was not very
trustworthy.
